4 weeks left!

Today I had one of my prenatal appointments (I'm now down to weekly appointments, as I'm exactly 36 weeks today) and my doctor and I set my delivery date! I'm so excited!! I was hoping to have this baby at 39 weeks, like I did with Daniel, but Mike expressed concern about having this baby early (Daniel was a pretty tiny guy), his words were along the lines of he wanted to give this kid "more time to cook", and he also was worried how this girl and Diana would deal, in the future, with having their birthdays only 2 days apart (as opposed to 9 days apart, having her on my due date). I have many siblings with very close birthdays, and none of them seem to have ever minded this, but Mike worries with Diana being the cute Drama Queen she is, that it would cause issues..and he may very well be right. So, I agreed to wait until my due date to have this little girl. Honestly, I had a hard time making up my mind as to which date I wanted...I thought it would be nice having her a week early, having hers and Diana's birthdays that much closer, and having her exactly a week early would mean having her on my Dad's birthday, which I'm sure he would have loved. But then I was torn, because I thought it would be cool to have someone with a birthday in each month from February-May (Mike and the kids), I worried that it would put too much stress on Mike, as he's got lots of crap going on at work over the next couple of weeks, I thought it would REALLY be nice to have an additional week to clean and prepare for the baby's arrival... you know, finish the 5-million projects that I have planned that need to get done before I have this baby (because ain't nothing going to be happening for a while after she gets here!), and then I could give Diana all the attention and time she could possibly want on her birthday, instead of being too preoccupied with the fact that I'd have a baby arriving in 2 days time. So, since Mike suggested the 7th of March, I figured it was best to agree and go with that date (Mike is usually extremely passive about stuff like this, so when he makes a suggestion, I learn to go with it, because he's always right in those situations). It's not so bad that I have to wait an extra week...I mean, I'm very lucky that I get to know EXACTLY when my baby is coming and can schedule my life around it, making each baby's arrival as convenient as possible for everyone. I'm just a little sad that I have 4 weeks left as opposed to 3, as now I'm getting very excited about this baby joining us, but I think we made the best choice. I mean, this pregnancy has been going very well, with no major problems aside from the massive, severe morning sickness I suffered from in the beginning, so I can't complain, and this pregnancy really has gone pretty fast for me...I just knew by this point I'd start getting anxious to see my baby and have her join us. I've already taken out all her clothes, washed them and put them away (the newborn/0-3 month stuff only) and my nesting has kicked into full gear over the past week, with me tackling major projects (like painting all of our baseboards downstairs on my own one day on a whim because I couldn't stand looking at them all scuffed and bunged up anymore) and planning many, many other projects that I think I'll somehow be able to accomplish over the next 4 weeks..I may be a giant basket case by the end of this month. But, the best part is I know for sure when my baby's getting here and I can get all my planning and prep done now. I'm very excited and can't believe I'm so close to the end of pregnancy #3!
